Is precisely the group of biholomorphic automorphisms of the Riemann sphere, which follows from the fact that the only meromorphic functions on the Riemann sphere are the rational functions. The key to a conceptual proof of Lemma 1 is This point serves as the identity for a group law defined on any elliptic curve, which comes abstractly from an identification of an elliptic curve with its Jacobian variety. Typically, the general idea in these applications is that a known algorithm which makes use of certain finite groups is rewritten to use the groups of rational points of elliptic curves. We give some examples, and list new algorithms that are due to Cremona and Delaunay. The first of three While these counterexamples are completely explicit, they were found by geometric means; for instance, Elkies' example was found by first locating Heegner points of an elliptic curve on the Euler surface, which turns out to be a K3 surface. An elliptic curve E defined over a finite field F is a plane non-singular cubic curve with at least a rational point [10]. We explain how to find a rational point on a rational elliptic curve of rank 1 using Heegner points. Elliptic Curve Cryptography and ECIES. Update: also, opinions on books on elliptic curves solicited, for the four or five of you who might have some! This week the lecture series is given by Shou-wu Zhang from Columbia, and revolves around the topic of rational points on curves, a key subject of interest in arithmetic geometry and number theory.
